‘ve never been a big fan of shirt dresses because I’m built like a football player. I’m all shoulders and short, stocky legs. I love Totem clothing in Melko on Brunswick street and I spotted this dress in their window and thought I’d try it on. I freaking love it. I wear it all the time. It’s super comfortable but still looks a bit dressed up. I struggle with summer fashions because I hate looking casual but if I can find something that feels like caftan but looks decent enough to go to work in, I’m totally sold.
Wearing
Dress by Totem from Melko
Shoe from Merrell – these babies took a while to wear in but I love them. I walk a lot and they’ve held up beautifully. I’m going to get the same pair in nude as well for summer.
Coin necklace from my grandfather
Rings and earrings from Thailand, Bali and Byron Bay
This outfit was worn for a busy day of running errands – visits to the post office, grocery shopping and catching up on my finances. So boring but totally necessary. I also saw some baby ducks today! They were totally adorable.
Is there a style of clothing you’ve been avoiding because you think it’s not flattering? Do you think you’ll ever give it a try?

I’m in my mid-40s and still haven’t found my style! I feel like i need to throw out everything in my wardrobe and start again. How did you find your style or know what suits you?

That’s a very interesting question! My style has changed a lot over the years but I definitely have a staple ‘look’ – dress, wild hair, hoop earrings. Pretty much all the time. I think you just need to take note of the days when you feel your best and try to emulate that outfit or look as often as you can.

I really wish I felt more comfortable in dresses because they look kick-ass. I just feel really self- conscious and silly for some reason. Weird issues….

I’m the same with pants! They just don’t gel with me. I don’t know why but I just feel weird in them.

The struggles of breaking in new shoes that are so awesome. I’m currently undertaking this process with a pair of black sparkly Nine West flats. So pretty. So cutty.

I hate breaking in new shoes. I’m currently in the process of breaking in my bestie’s wedding shoes. She’s a size 7.5 and I’m a 9 so I’m squishing my feet in them to stretch them for her!
